If you believe in Britain

1 Jan 1948

51 If you believe in Britain LET'S BE BLUNT ABOUT IT. To-day you can betray your country by spending your money or cashing your savings unwisely. THE NATION IS AT WORK, fighting a war against want. If we lose it we shall be little better off than if we had lost the war against Hitler. Until we win it our great- ness as a nation and the security of our children's future cannot be established. EVERY TIME WE SAVE LESS and spend more we are striking a blow against that future. Spending hampers the production drive by taking goods off the export market —and it encourages inflation.
